In our -- Russian -- case we are talking about national community that
are being set up currently involving [supposedly] all Russian
PostgreSQL experts, including Oleg and Teodor and others. So, it's
really about community.

So, is it possible to handle the-most-straightforward name
ru.postgresql.org for HTTP requests separately from FTP ones?

Since there is a consistent objection to the idea of uniform
infrastructure, I think we'll better continue with our own stuff :-)
Most probably It will be at http://pgsql.ru soon.

BTW, I suspect that uniform infrastructure for national communities
will help spread idea of weekly news translation (now it's not only
decentralized but also is somewhat obscure -- it's not clear how to
quickly find, say, German translation, and moreover Russian one).
